پْریرِتاح 6

1 تَسْمِنْ سَمَیے شِشْیاناں باہُلْیاتْ پْراتْیَہِکَدانَسْیَ وِشْرانَنَے رْبھِنَّدیشِییاناں وِدھَواسْتْرِیگَنَ اُپیکْشِتے سَتِ اِبْرِییَلوکَیح سَہانْیَدیشِییاناں وِوادَ اُپاتِشْٹھَتْ۔

Now in these days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, a complaint by the Grecian Jews began against the Hebrews, because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food.

2 تَدا دْوادَشَپْریرِتاح سَرْوّانْ شِشْیانْ سَںگرِہْیاکَتھَیَنْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ کَتھاپْرَچارَں پَرِتْیَجْیَ بھوجَنَگَویشَنَمْ اَسْماکَمْ اُچِتَں نَہِ۔

The twelve called the multitude of the disciples to them and said, “It is not right for us to give up the word of God in order to serve tables.

3 اَتو ہے بھْراترِگَنَ وَیَمْ ایتَتْکَرْمَّنو بھارَں ییبھْیو داتُں شَکْنُمَ ایتادرِشانْ سُکھْیاتْیاپَنّانْ پَوِتْریناتْمَنا جْنانینَ چَ پُورْنانْ سَپّرَجَنانْ یُویَں سْویشاں مَدھْیے مَنونِیتانْ کُرُتَ،

You should therefore choose, brothers, seven men from among yourselves, men of good reputation, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.

4 کِنْتُ وَیَں پْرارْتھَنایاں کَتھاپْرَچارَکَرْمَّنِ چَ نِتْیَپْرَورِتّاح سْتھاسْیامَح۔

As for us, we will always continue in prayer and in the ministry of the word.”

5 ایتَسْیاں کَتھایاں سَرْوّے لوکاح سَنْتُشْٹاح سَنْتَح سْویشاں مَدھْیاتْ سْتِپھانَح پھِلِپَح پْرَکھَرو نِکانورْ تِیمَنْ پَرْمِّنا یِہُودِمَتَگْراہِی-آنْتِیَکھِیانَگَرِییو نِکَلا ایتانْ پَرَمَبھَکْتانْ پَوِتْریناتْمَنا پَرِپُورْنانْ سَپْتَ جَنانْ

Their speech pleased the whole multitude. So they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte from Antioch.

6 پْریرِتاناں سَمَکْشَمْ آنَیَنْ، تَتَسْتے پْرارْتھَناں کرِتْوا تیشاں شِرَحسُ ہَسْتانْ آرْپَیَنْ۔

The believers brought these men before the apostles, who prayed and then placed their hands upon them.

7 اَپَرَنْچَ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ کَتھا دیشَں وْیاپْنوتْ وِشیشَتو یِرُوشالَمِ نَگَرے شِشْیاناں سَںکھْیا پْرَبھُوتَرُوپیناوَرْدّھَتَ یاجَکاناں مَدھْییپِ بَہَوَح کھْرِیشْٹَمَتَگْراہِنوبھَوَنْ۔

So the word of God continued to spread, and the number of disciples in Jerusalem increased greatly, and a large number of the priests became obedient to the faith.

8 سْتِپھانو وِشْواسینَ پَراکْرَمینَ چَ پَرِپُورْنَح سَنْ لوکاناں مَدھْیے بَہُوِدھَمْ اَدْبھُتَمْ آشْچَرْیَّں کَرْمّاکَروتْ۔

Now Stephen, full of grace and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people.

9 تینَ لِبَرْتِّنِییَنامْنا وِکھْیاتَسَنْگھَسْیَ کَتِپَیَجَناح کُرِینِییَسِکَنْدَرِییَ-کِلِکِییاشِییادیشِییاح کِیَنْتو جَناشْچوتّھایَ سْتِپھانینَ سارْدّھَں وْیَوَدَنْتَ۔

But there arose some people who belonged to the synagogue called the synagogue of the Freedmen, of the Cyrenians and Alexandrians, and some from Cilicia and Asia. These people were debating with Stephen.

10 کِنْتُ سْتِپھانو جْنانینَ پَوِتْریناتْمَنا چَ اِیدرِشِیں کَتھاں کَتھِتَوانْ یَسْیاسْتے آپَتِّں کَرْتُّں ناشَکْنُوَنْ۔

But they were not able to stand against the wisdom and the Spirit with which Stephen spoke.

11 پَشْچاتْ تَے رْلوبھِتاح کَتِپَیَجَناح کَتھامینامْ اَکَتھَیَنْ، وَیَں تَسْیَ مُکھَتو مُوسا اِیشْوَرَسْیَ چَ نِنْداواکْیَمْ اَشْرَوشْمَ۔

Then they bribed some men to say, “We have heard Stephen speak blasphemous words against Moses and against God.”

12 تے لوکاناں لوکَپْراچِینانامْ اَدھْیاپَکانانْچَ پْرَورِتِّں جَنَیِتْوا سْتِپھانَسْیَ سَنِّدھِمْ آگَتْیَ تَں دھرِتْوا مَہاسَبھامَدھْیَمْ آنَیَنْ۔

They stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes, and they approached Stephen and seized him and brought him before the council.

13 تَدَنَنْتَرَں کَتِپَیَجَنیشُ مِتھْیاساکْشِشُ سَمانِیتیشُ تےکَتھَیَنْ ایشَ جَنَ ایتَتْپُنْیَسْتھانَوْیَوَسْتھَیو رْنِنْداتَح کَداپِ نَ نِوَرْتَّتے۔

They brought false witnesses, who said, “This man does not stop speaking words against this holy place and the law.

14 پھَلَتو ناسَرَتِییَیِیشُح سْتھانَمیتَدْ اُچّھِنَّں کَرِشْیَتِ مُوساسَمَرْپِتَمْ اَسْماکَں وْیَوَہَرَنَمْ اَنْیَرُوپَں کَرِشْیَتِ تَسْیَیتادرِشِیں کَتھاں وَیَمْ اَشرِنُمَ۔

For we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs that Moses handed down to us.”

15 تَدا مَہاسَبھاسْتھاح سَرْوّے تَں پْرَتِ سْتھِراں درِشْٹِں کرِتْوا سْوَرْگَدُوتَمُکھَسَدرِشَں تَسْیَ مُکھَمْ اَپَشْیَنْ۔

Everyone who sat in the council fixed their eyes on him and saw his face was like the face of an angel.
